摘要：

Stab wounds are often managed conservatively with simple wound assessment and closure. However, even apparently minor thoracic wounds can cause delayed pericardial effusions presenting as life-threatening tamponade sometimes days, weeks or months later. Patients suffering stab wounds to the chest should receive echocardiographic follow-up to exclude delayed pericardial effusions.
